Edinburgh Open day: 5th/27th September.

I was pretty impressed by the Medicine course.
But I dislike the idea of the accomodation and having travel so much everywhere - especially since Medical block so far away.

Btw Origin, which Med talk were you at? The one at which time?

Its not far away. Half an hour walk to the hospital, 15 to the School. I was at the one at 12, I liked both the speakers. I asked about the UKCAT score quartiles just as everyone left, and he said the highest quartile cut-off was about 2600. I was so relieved to hear that!

Omg Lol, I was at the one at 12 too. I found the talk to be very useful to be honest. (though most of the information that they told I know already - since I was early for it and I asked questions to the people outside beforehand).
I was relieved to know they don't care about Band's (one of the person asked him at the end whether band's matter). Though it does kinda depress me that Standard Grade results are in the equation too.

Omg. highest quartile cut-off = 2600?!?! YES!!! I got 2620! . but ouch, its around and since this year's results is much better, then it might fluctuate a lot.

By the way, did you ask your question just as everyone was leaving and the person walked up to you to answer your question or was it afterwards?

Yeah, he walked up to me, up the steps. But still, you'll be guaranteed to be in the second highest quartile, so no worries.

Yeah I got told by a Careers "Advisor" that my 2 in SG Modies would bring me down and not let me in to Edinburgh imbecile.

Lol! If you're the person he walked up the stairs to talk to, then I know who you are then, though I can't remember what you look like at all, since I had to walk past yous to get out and I thought I heard the word UKCAT mentioned. The coincidences eh?

And oh yeah, my Careers 'Advisor' said that I wouldn't be able to get into Med without Higher Physics. I asked the Admission person at the front enterance of the Med school, and you can guess what she replied.

Were you the guy with the dreads?

Pfft. I didn't do Physics, they shouldn't be in that job.

Nah.
I was the [only?] Chinese guy sitting by himself - noone I knew was doing Med -.-'.

But yeah, you dont need Physics if you got Maths/Bio/Chem.

Oooh, I think I walked behind you into it!

Also, Human Bio is better.

I was there today. Wasn't impressed don't think I will be applying.

Just back from the Edinburgh Open Day. The shuttlebus service was pretty poor Meaning I only had enough time for 1 and a half talks. x_X But I went to the most important one for me so it was good. Who else went on the 5th? - Curious.
